Georgian made Russian saber of Polish provenance

Hi Ariel,
The name seems to be "S. Neishvili" if I read it correctly, a Georgian name and since a gurda mark with strings of dots is typical for Georgian manufactured blades it made me think of Georgian production.
Any record if such a maker?
I have nor encountered a similar example yet but I assume production of private contract blades for well to do Russian officers must have been commonplace and a large part of the economy of the day.
